    The 3080Ti is 35% faster than 6900XT with ray tracing in Ghostwire Tokyo.

    https://gamegpu.com/action-/-fps-/-tps/ghostwire-tokyo-test-gpu-cpu

    Yeah, meant twice as fast, it's just the site that made the comparison uses the 6900XT as a baseline value of 100%.

    Well… thats great. But it also costs 100% more than a 6900XT and sucks as much power than a heat pump Heating for an entire home.

    This is simply pervers

    Slash 5% of the 3090Ti's performance advantage and you get the 3090 results, with comparable power consumption to the 6900XT, better yet slash 10% and you get the 3080Ti, with comparable price.

    Even after the slashing, the gap in ray tracing performance is simply HUGE and vast, it wouldn't matter if you even slashed 20%.

    Any game that uses multiple RT effects will make Ampere soar to the 50% performance advantage and beyond, that's not taking into account path traced games such Minecraft RTX or Quake 2 RTX.

    Also the first comparison is comparing against the 6900XT LC, which is priced at 1600$ to 1800$.

    Is there a ray-tracing frames per watt measurement out there?

    Not sure if there are edge cases but power consumption should just whatever the power limits set at assuming it's a GPU limited scenario. Performance would be whatever number you want to use.

    In terms of edge cases, would say that Cyberpunk 2077 (at 200% more perf) result possibly mean very heavy under utilization (and therefore power consumption) on the say the 6900xt? I haven't seen an example of this. Otherwise the numbers I've seen just show both Ampere and RNDA2 GPUs just hitting their power limits no different than non ray trace.

    6900 XT uses a bit more power when running RT, about 10-20 watts over rasterization. A 3090 uses quite a bit more power across a variety of games. They are not in the same ballpark.

    I'm not sure if that's the right interpretation. The RTX 3090 has a higher TDP at 350w vs 300w and therefore uses about 50w more power in GPU limited gaming scenarios, regardless of what those are. Modern cards basically just all clock up and then run at their limits. It's not like the pre Kepler/GCN era where you could have extremely wide ranging power consumption especially if you ran something like Furmark. The video in question is basically showing this to be case, all the tests essentially hit roughly the same ceiling without much significant deviation.

    Also how reliable is that youtube channel? Some of those youtube channels, especially the one's that only show gameplay loops with stat overlays with zero other footage, are somewhat controversial/questionable in terms of veracity. The 275w limit shown by the 6900xt in this sample seems to be different than other publications that are more vetted -

    https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-radeon-rx-6900-xt-review/4
    https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-radeon-rx-6900-xt/31.html
    https://www.igorslab.de/en/grasps-a...with-benchmarks-and-a-technology-analysis/13/ (igor's does have both raster and ray trace data)

    All three of those that measure power at the GPU essentially show them roughly in spec with what their official TDP power limits are. Which make sense since the power governors are set in mind based on other engineering/safety considerations and would cause issues if one type of workload ends up consistently way above maximum spec.

    Yeah that’s been my experience in GPU limited scenarios. Current cards are really good at holding at the power limit. So if they’re reading lower it’s due to a cpu limitation or other fps cap. A 3090 power limited to 300w would probably still wipe the floor with the 6900xt.

    We have enough data points now that it’s clear RDNA2 is at a significant disadvantage in DXR. Given the rapid adoption of RT it’s almost guaranteed that AMD will revisit their approach with RDNA3.
